Welcome to BabySteps Checklist #1. I am so excited that you have made the commitment to build your food storage this year! There are many reasons WHY people build a Food Storage, find out more about them in my Why Food Storage blog post.
I recommend people get a basic Emergency Plan in place before they really dive into the food storage concepts. If you have a 72 hour kit of food, water, and supplies you will be better off in an emergency than 95% of the country. This list may feel daunting, so feel free to spread out the tasks over more than two weeks if you need to. The rest of the checklists will be much less intense.
For this checklist we will be working on the Emergency Preparedness Plan which consists of these three components:
- Family Plan
- Disaster Kit (includes 72 hour kits and emergency binder)
- Evacuation List (includes grab list, car kit and computer backup)
TO DO:
Print out the Emergency Preparedness Plan and complete the following tasks:- Review the Family Plan section and go over it with your family
- Inventory and gather supplies you have on hand for your Disaster Kits
- Follow the instructions to create your own Emergency Binder
- Fill out your Evacuation List in order of priority
- Inventory and gather supplies you have on hand for your Car Kits
